ok i,m posting this for another contact she has bought 3 birds from the same breeder and all 3 have died in like 2 months from purchase so here is what she says
Hello everyone.
It is with a heavy heart I write to you this morning. I'm on the verge of tears…again. So bare with me.
After having only been with me for 2 months, PJ, sadly has passed on.
The only difference being that at least this time I was there to hold him as he died.
I don't know if that's gonna make my grieving process any easier then the last time. But at least I had the sense to recognize what was happening and act as quickly as possible.
Symptoms include;
Listlessness,
Drooping wings
Half closed eyes
Tiny voice
Rapid breathing,
And weightloss so fast he'd put it in the record books.
I'm going to do research into my breeder's cage conditions. If there is any inbreeding happening, or something like that. Cause this is the 3rd bird I've lost in 2 years. All be it the IRN parrot's still alive but living elsewhere.
